Good Thanksgiving Entertainment

So you had a good Thanksgiving meal with the family and want to find some entertainment, but you are not a football fan and you have seen all of the marathons on TV already. Plus there are the same old songs on the radio that you have heard 100 to 200 times. What is a person to do?

Luckily, there are a couple of good shows on the computer tonight. Conservative Nation Radio and Own The Narrative have 4 hours of quality talk entertainment for you.

Beginning at 6 PM Eastern, 3 PM Pacific, Billie Cotter and Rick Bulow bring you a very special Thanksgiving episode of Nobamanation. There will be a reading of George Washington’s Thanksgiving proclamation as well as the True Story of Thanksgiving from Rush Limbaugh’s radio show yesterday as well as from his second best selling book See I Told You So. This is the story that many had not heard of before in the government schools. They will also speak on what they are thankful for and many other things.

Then at 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific, Rick Bulow will move over to Own The Narrative and co-host a very special Thanksgiving show with Becca Lower of Lowering The Boom. Rick will read the same Story of Thanksgiving that he had read on Nobamanation and then sometime toward the end of the 8 PM hour they will welcome Lee Stranahan of Breitbart. Lee had just started putting out a newsletter called Creative Conservative. He was also a part of Occupy Unmasked and worked with Andrew Breitbart so they will be talking about that as well.

So if you are looking for some quality entertainment tonight, tune into your computer for four hours of quality conservative fun, brought to you by Conservative Nation Radio and Own The Narrative.

65th Rant: The Greatest Danger to Our Freedom

Here is a very interesting piece that Blake Stephens had posted in The Patriot Zone.

Some of you print notices to groups of folk. My hope is that ALL of you will read to the last line of this email and if you do believe that this man of wisdom, Alexander Tyler in 1787, hit the nail on the head with his statement about Democracies, you will share this information with your clientele and friends. Even tho’ we have a representative republic, I think it does apply to America today –
PS> Amazing statistics on the recent election, too.
This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.
I have always heard about this democracy countdown.. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not
that we deserve it.

How Long Do We Have?
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their
new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a
Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply
cannot exist as a permanent form of government.'
'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time
that voters discover they can vote themselves
generous gifts from the public treasury.'
' From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal
policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'
'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations
from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years'
'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed
through the following sequence:
1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. from dependence back into bondage'

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:
Number of States won by:
Democrats: 19
Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Democrats: 580,000
Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by:
Democrats: 127 million
Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Democrats: 13.2
Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...' Olson believes the United States is somewhere between  the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's
population already having reached the 'governmental
dependency' phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty
million criminal invaders called illegal's and they
vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete
this message. If you are not, then pass this along
to help everyone realize just how much is at stake,
knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our
freedom.

Even though the piece Blake posted had mentioned the numbers from the 2008 election, I think we can see it more with the 2012 election which put Obama back in office on the backs of the mooches, leaches, and parasites of this nation. Those people are the ones who Neal Boortz calls the “Dumbass dumb masses” who do not care about politics or if they do, it is only for 4 months and then only want a handout and not a hand up.

I had mentioned in past blog entries that Atlas is shrugging right now, and if we do not do anything that the weight of the world will cause Atlas to throw it off of his shoulders. I am thinking that when we reach the final stage of Tytler’s circle (from dependence back into bondage) that it will be too late for this country as we know it. Obama and the Democrats are fiddling while America is burning.

64th Rant: Obama owns it now!

I came across this WONDERFUL post by Janice Thomas in The Patriot Zone on Facebook today.

Just read this post from a man named John....he posted on a story I read about how food pantry request have went up 400%........ I LOVE THIS POST!!!.......................................Congratulations to the Democrats and Young People! You now own it and you can't blame Bush.
The next terrorist attack you own it.
Can't get a job after graduation, you own it.
Sky rocketing energy prices due to Obama's EPA shutting down the energy producing states, you own it.
A nuclear Iran, you own it.
Bowing to Russia, you own it.
Another severe recession, you own it.
A volatile border with Mexico, you own it.
Trouble getting good health care, you own it.
Higher health insurance costs and health care costs, you own it.
No budget, you own it.
Our allies mistrust, you own it.
Another trillion of debt, you own it.
More Benghazi situations, you own it.
No one willing to join the military, you own it.
Trouble getting a loan to buy a home, you own it.
More dependency on food stamps, you own it.
Trouble finding good employment, you own it.
Several part time jobs instead of a good job, you own it.
A World Government, you own it.
The UN governing the United States instead of ourselves, you own it.
A Senate that will not bring any legislation to the table even if it is "Dead on Arrival", you own it.
China controlling our world trade trampling all over us, you own it.
Loss of our freedoms as we have known it in the past, you own it.
A dictatorship instead of a democracy that follows the Constitution, you own it.
Less take home pay and higher living costs, you own it.
Driving a car that looks like a toy, you own it.
More government corruption and lies, you own it.
More toleration of extreme and fanatical Islamists, you own it.
Terrorist attacks called work place incidents, you own it.
Your revenge instead of love of country, you own it.
President George Bush is out of it now, and there is not another good man for you to vilify and lie about. In a way I am relieved that another good man will not be blamed when it was impossible to clean up this mess you voted for. Have a good day. God bless the United States! God is our hope now.

What Janice said is so very true. There is no one for Obama to blame now, as much as he would like to try. He has been in office 4 years now and he has a record. In fact, it is his record which would have caused him to LOSE the election on November 6, but many had not voted or voted third party which allowed him to remain in office. No matter what Obama does now, he has nobody to blame but himself for everything bad happening to America, and I only hope that in 2014 Americans will see that and give the Republicans a clean majority in the Senate and then in 2016 give the Republican nominee a clean win in the White House. Then and ONLY then do I think we can return America to it’s first principles found in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence!

Just when you thought you had seen everything….

Just when you thought you had left no stone unturned, you missed The News.

And as if that was not enough, here comes more from my good friend Tony Katz over at All Patriots Media.

Here is an odd moment stemming from Superstorm Sandy. Two pelicans leaving on a jet plane back to Florida. (possible Rule 5 story, or do they have to be about hot babes?)

For those of you who support the troops, here is a project I am involved in. Go to http://www.coreyclagett.com to find out what you can do.

And it looks like Brett Kimberlin (aka The Speedway Bomber) is losing in the court of judicial opinion as well as in the court of public opinion, as is more recently evidenced here: Default Motions Filed Against #NealRauhauser and #RonBrynaert

Be sure to tune in to “Soldiers of Patriotism with Michael B. Smith and `Uncle’ Bing Fischer” this Sunday at 4 PM Eastern, 3 PM Central. On the show this week will be the one and only Bill Finlay of “Wild Bill For America” fame. You watched his videos on YouTube. Now get a chance to meet the man up close and personal. Here is a plug for the show that I did on Tout.

And I have to give mad props to Becca Lower of “Lower The Boom” for this new venture from Lee Stranahan.

I hope you enjoyed the trip through the wild world of the news! Follow me on Twitter (@RickBulow1974 and @RickBulow74) and check out my Crazed World at http://RickBulow1974.freesmfhosting.com.

63rd Rant: Corey Clagett

The year was 2006. The place was near the Muthana Chemical Complex south of Lake Thar Thar, Iraq. The backdrop was Operation Iraqi Freedom. The target was a suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq training facility southwest of the city of Samarra. Colonel Michael D. Steele commanded the 3rd Special Troops Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat, 187th Infantry Regiment (also known as Rakkasans), 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and worked with Iraqi Army soldiers throughout Salah ad Din province defeating insurgents, Al Qaeda cells, and uncovering numerous caches of weapons and explosives. He sent Alpha Company to Samarra to assist the Rakkasans.

On May 9, a Blackhawk helicopter dropped Corey’s squad off on an island consisting of two homes. The squad then approached one of the homes and discovered three military-aged males using two women as human shields. Corey’s squad handcuffed and detained the three men while the squad leader, Staff Sergeant Girouard, radioed Command to report the three detainees. The response was, “Why aren’t these terrorists dead yet?”

Girouard held a meeting of the entire squad. He then ordered Corey and another soldier, William Hunsaker, to kill the three detainees. Corey and Hunsaker were coincidentally the two lowest-ranked members of the squad.

Following the meeting, Girouard cut off the detainee’s zip-ties and ordered Corey and Hunsaker to shoot them. Corey recognized that he had been given an unlawful order. However, he knew the Rules of Engagement were to “shoot to kill.” Corey was aware of the Intelligence and knew that under the new “catch and release” program, the detainees would likely be released very quickly. These consequences weighed heavily on Corey as these detainees, once released, would most likely provide damaging intelligence to al Qaeda or even kill other U.S. soldiers. As the youngest and lowest ranking member of the squad, he was fearful of the consequences of disobeying the order.

Corey decided to follow the order and accompanied by Hunsaker, told the detainees to run away and then began to shoot, killing two of them. The third detainee was mortally wounded and then shot in the head by Specialist Graber.

When the squad was charged and detained, Corey was abused by American guards, often going unfed and being forced to sleep in the fetal position while chained. His conditions were harsher than those at Guantanamo. While the others who were charged were let off easily, with one even being promoted and subsequently redeployed to Iraq, Corey was charged with 18 years and spent 4 years in solitary confinement in Leavenworth.

His mother, Melanie Dianiska, is trying to spearhead all efforts for the military to grant clemency for Corey. One of her efforts is taking his case to the internet, with the site http://www.coreyclagett.com and also taking it to various radio shows online. The intention is to garner public support for Corey and also get media attention for him. It is unfair that others had been handled with kid gloves and received lighter sentences while Corey has been handled with iron gloves and received a harsher sentence.

62nd rant: The death of America and who is to blame

Someone had posted the following quote on my wall a couple of days after the election on Tuesday, and it is oh so very true

IN MEMORIUM: The United States, 236, of America, died at 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of George and Martha Washington. She has been a light, and inspiration, to the masses who have embraced her open arms, seeking freedom and liberty. She was a beacon of hope, to the oppressed of the world. She was non-denominational, but could be heard whispering, "In God We Trust." She was an artist that enjoyed painting picturesque mountains and flowing fields of grain, landscapes and wildlife of all kinds. She encouraged everyone who visited, to enjoy and engage in her favorite activities; gardening, sewing, quilting, planting flowers, and cooking her many ethnic dishes. In her younger years she was an avid explorer and pioneer. She is survived by countless children of all ages, devastated by her untimely passing. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by untold patriots and great armies that have protected her blessed name and dedicated spirit. Friends of Miss Liberty are asked to share her legacy and pray for her deliverance.

Now, as far as who to blame for Romney's loss Tuesday which evidently led to the death of America, I think we ought to lay the blame on the three groups that deserve it.(WARNING: graphic language ahead)

1.) The Occupy movement: Yes I know they are not around in as full of a force as they were this time last year, but they were the major lynchpin in the downfall of America.
2.) The third party HACKS: If it were not for the third party candidates like Virgil Goode, Roseanne Barr, Jill Stein and more importantly Gary FUCKING Johnson I think Mitt Romney would have won the election. Here in Florida, Romney is losing (as the count is still going on) by 64,185 votes. Had the third party candidates (who combined had 68,576 votes with Gary Johnson grabbing 44,418 votes) voted for Romney, then he would have won Florida outright. Hell, I think it would have ben the same in the other states as well.

3.) The voting electorate as a whole. In 2009 a video had first been floated about where people who had voted for Obama (who ranged in ages from 18 - 80) were asked simple, basic questions about who was in charge of our nation, who Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were, and other questions about politics that a 5th fucking grader should know, and they had no motherfucking clue on ANY of them! Take a look at this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3ZLJj_q4xI is the link to the 10 minute video) and you will see what I mean.

I know there are others who deserve it as well, but these three groups I mentioned deserve the brunt of it and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. When I say this, I do not mean prosecuted in an actual court but rather in the court of public opinion, where it rightfully belongs.

And while I am at it, can we all agree that TRENDS and OMENS are irrelevant? As I went to get the paper on Wednesday (and also walk into a tree with my fist in the process) I was thinking about the following trends and omens we had on our side this election:
1.) EVERY election held on November 6 since Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 had gone to the Republicans
2.) The last 3 Governors to be nominated to run v incumbent Presidents have won.
3.) The last 3 times incumbent Presidents have lost, they were defeated by a Governor.
4.) The University of Colorado prognostication
5.) The Redskin Rule (Where there is a high correlation between the outcome of the last Washington Redskins home football game prior to the U.S. Presidential Election and the outcome of the election: when the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins the electoral vote for the White House; when the Redskins lose, the non-incumbent party wins. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redskins_Rule for more)
I know there are other trends and omens that I had also heard somewhere but do not know them right off the top of my head.
ALL of them got tossed out the window thanks to Obama and the joke of an election!

Herman Cain had said that stupid people are ruining America, and he is oh so correct. Stupid people ARE ruining America, and we have seen it come out in full force not only in the presidential election, but also in a few of the senate races as well.

The question now we have to consider is what we need to do about it. The answer will be posited in future blog entries.

61st rant: Even after the election, our work is not done

For many people, the only time they worry about politics is only from the week before to the year before Election Day. They feel that all they have to do is vote and that is it, but is it really? Is there more to politics than just voting?

The answer is that politics is more than just a one phase operation. Sure voting is a part of it, but it is not the only thing. The other part is holding the politicians’ feet to the fire. And one way to that is by checking out The People’s Vote. Chuck Kirkpatrick and DariaAnne DiGiovanni are the two purveyors of the site which seeks to keep the elected politicians – whether it is national, state, or local – honest by giving the people a voice in bills and issues on the legislative docket. And with the current presidential election, the call to hold the politicians’ feet to the fire is needed now more than ever. If Obama wins the White House for a second term and the Republicans win the Senate and keep the House, we need to keep the Republicans in line by telling them to not give in to anything Obama does which bypasses Congress. Conversely, if Romney wins the White House and the Republicans win the House and keep the Senate, then we need to keep the Republicans in line by telling them to hold Romney to many if not all of the promises he had made regarding the repeal of ObamaCare.

This election is VERY WELL the most important election of our lifetime in the fact that if Obama wins a second term, then America as we know it will cease to exist if we do not hold Congress’ feet to the fire. In order for America to remain the best country in the world, both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue should be held accountable.

60th Rant: This election and the war on Coal

My friend Glen Brown had written a very interesting post which pretty much sums up this election and also the War on Coal. So good in fact, that just to keep it in the shadows is not right. Here it is (typos included)

ya know..I have been thinking... What is the use.. of green energy...and protecting the enviroment...if we are the only country that does it? seems to me to be a talking point that really has no basis.. most of the green energy thats talked about..is nowhere near developed enough to really make a difference. Coal Moners have worked for decades in this country.. and helped keep this country moving. I think the War on Coal by the EPA is unfounded..and stupid.
As to the Election.. I think that alot of us are tired of promises.. tired of commercials.. and tired of working our butts off only to hand our money to the government. Social issues be damned. Obama is still the only president in US History to encounter a recession and NOT put a cap on fuel prices. Add that to outright lies..deceiving the American people, and doing his best to try to be a movie star rather than a president.. and that pretty much sums up everything. I'm not a big fan of Romney..but we have had 4 years of watching Obama sit in office and make decisions that have hurt our economy, driven costs of everything up.. and made it harder for the average american to survive. He screams he is for the middle Class...how can that be.. when he is regualting things so baddly..its non existant?

What Glen said is so very true indeed. Coal Miners have worked in America for decades and could keep this country moving. In fact, as one Herman Cain had said when he was running for President we have our own natural resources (coal, oil, natural gas) right here in the United States, but it does us no good just keeping it in the ground while letting the other resource-rich countries leap ahead of us in resource production.

With the exception of a few people, none of us had Mitt Romney as our first choice. In fact, he was my third choice behind Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich. But ladies and gentlemen he is the ONLY choice we have if we want to get Obama OUT of office. We have 10 days to do whatever we can to make it happen, and right now it looks good for our side, with Gallup having Romney up 6 points among likely voters and tied with Obama among registered voters; Rasmussen Reports also has Romney up 4 points among likely voters. We need to do whatever we can to keep the edge going for Romney.

As I had mentioned many times in the past, Atlas is shrugging right now with the weight of the world he is bearing which Obama had added onto the past 4 years. Romney is the only one right now, October 27, 2012, to take some if not all of the weight off of Atlas and make it more manageable until the next election.

59th Rant: More on this Presidential Election

I would like to start this rant by playing a wonderful video by Bill Whittle of PJTV:

 

What Whittle said is SO VERY TRUE. A vote for anyone BUT Romney this year IS a vote for Obama. IF you want Obama out of the office this year, then the only moral decision you have to make is to VOTE FOR ROMNEY. I had said this in many editorials on this very show (see editorials for October 6, September 29, September 8, August 11, June 23, March 31, and March 24 as well as the entire show for June 23) that a vote for a third party, a no vote, or a write-in vote IS a vote for Barack Obama and the destruction of America as we know it. As Andrew Breitbart had said at CPAC back in February of this year, “If you are not in favor of this candidate for whatever reason, more than shame on you. You’re on the other side!” In fact, let me play that clip, which is my motto for this election, for you.

Andrew Breitbart at CPAC – February, 2012

I said it before, and I will say it again: “IF we do not vote for Mitt Romney in November, then this WILL be our future during an Obama second term”

(Video removed by user. find the audio at http://www.4shared.com/mp3/pNgbGs0m/Palpatine_Speech.html?refurl=d1url

I said it before, and I will say it again. As was mentioned by Joshua after the initial conquest of Canaan (found in the biblical book of Joshua 24:15) “[And] if it disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today who you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River; or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” That verse is also applicable today. If it is disagreeable in your sight to vote for Mitt Romney, choose for yourselves today who you will vote for; whether Obama who has led America into the hell it is in; or the other minor candidates who will only serve as a front for Obama this year; but as for me and Conservative Nation Radio, we will vote for Romney.

58th Rant: The General Election and the Presidential Candidates

With the election 26 days away, I got my absentee ballot in the mail yesterday. Now I know who I will be voting for in the Presidential race so the debates will not be affecting that decision. HOWEVER, one thing did catch my eye. That being the number of candidates running for the President. I managed to save a copy of the General Election Ballot (and you can see what I have to vote for in northeast Lee County, Florida, HERE if you are interested) and on page 1 after the instructions in the left hand column I moved my eyes past the Romney/Ryan ticket and the Obama/Biden ticket (the two tickets which MATTER in this particular election as all others are a vote for Obama anyhow in my well-researched book) and just counted the other presidential tickets running. Here is what I had found out:

1. Thomas Robert Stevens/Alden Link (OBJ) Objectivist Party
2. Gary Johnson/James P. Gray (LBT) Libertarian Party; on ballots of all states except in Michigan and Oklahoma where its ballot access has been challenged. (515 Electoral)
3. Virgil H. Goode Jr./James N. Clymer (CPF) Constitution Party; on ballots in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming - (257 Electoral) with write-in ballot access in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia (214 Electoral) for a total of 471 Electoral
4. Jill Stein/Cheri Honkala (GRE) Green Party; on ballots in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, DC, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin - (447 Electoral) with write-in ballot access in Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri (44 Electoral) for a total of 491 Electoral
5. Andre Barnett/Kenneth Cross (REF) Reform Party USA
6. Stewart Alexander/Alex Mendoza (SOC) Socialist Party USA
7. Peta Lindsay/Yari Osorio (PSL) Party for Socialism and Liberation
8. Roseanne Barr/Cindy Sheehan (PFP) Peace and Freedom Party
9. Tom Hoefling/Jonathan D. Ellis (AIP) American Independent Party
10. Ross C. “Rocky” Anderson/Luis J. Rodriguez (JPF) Justice Party; on ballots in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington - (152 Electoral) with write-in ballot access in Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, DC (175 Electoral) for a total of 327 Electoral (It is interesting to note also that The Justice Party is a new party that was formed on December 13, 2011)
11. Write-in

That’s right there is 24 people (plus whoever others want if the write-in candidate is counted) that are out to divide the vote just on the Florida ballot ALONE. I am sure in other states there are many others who I had not mentioned. Like I said in earlier rants (see Rants 33, 34, 45 and 53) this year, this election is WAY TOO IMPORTANT to waste it on the crumb bums and the shoe clerks (credit to ESPN’s World Series of Poker commentator Norman Chad) that are running for other parties.
The ten tickets I mentioned above are spoiler candidates, with Gary Johnson being a spoil sport because he dropped out of the Republican Presidential Nomination. To me object #1 is and always has been to evict Barack Obama out of the PEOPLE’S White House, and in my mind (as well as the mind of many others) Mitt Romney is the man to do the job. Object #2 this election is to give Mitt Romney a Republican House and Senate to do the job with. I will get to that in another rant.
It is also interesting to note that of the 10 third party tickets which have formal access to ballots or who have write-in access, only 5 of them have access to 270 or more electoral votes according to my research. The other 5 third party tickets either have no access to 270 electoral votes or do not wish to publicize just which ballots they are on. What are those other 5 hiding? We will never know unless they decide to open up.
Bottom line is there are too many tickets running for President, and seeing 12 tickets on my absentee ballot this year kind of reminds me of the Republican Presidential Primary when there were 10 people running. There should be SOME way to coalesce the other third-party tickets, especially since many of them think and feel the same way anyhow.
